– 2004 Volvo s40 T5
– 2.5L L-5 20V DOHC Turbo
– 184k miles
– Automatic
– Engine model: B5254T3
– VIN: YV1MS682242012580
– I have owned it since 164k miles
– $1900 OBO – feel free to ask any questions or shoot me an offer. I care more about going to a good home than the money. I really don’t want to sell it, but I am a college student so having multiple vehicles isn’t ideal.

Note: the picture of the dash was taken with the ignition on but engine off – oil light is not on when the engine is running – you can see this in the video I included starting it
Pros
– Leather, heated, programmable seats
– Cruise control
– ABS and traction control
– Sunroof – recently cleaned out the drain hose
– Comes with both keys
– Working heat and ac
– Great highway gas mileage (almost 30 with cruise set)
– Serviced every 3k miles since I have owned it – last one done at 184k
– New tires
– Very clean underneath especially for its age
Cons
– Radio doesn’t work
– PO cracked grille
– Doesn’t do well in the cold – below 40-ish (F) it has trouble starting and runs rough if you don’t let it warm up
– Rebuilt title – the accident was way back in 2014 so not recent
– Rear end is unstable at high speed over bumps the back end shakes a little – I think it is the rear control arms need replaced
– It is an old vehicle
– small exhaust leak – someone did some exhaust work with zero welding experience
– Car alarm does not work – there is a loose connection somewhere that caused it to randomly go off so I just cut the wire – can be easily fixed with some crimps and 5 minutes
– Paint fade
– Engine codes – has misfire codes, likely needs all new ignition coils but it was the end of the school year when those popped up so I didn’t have the money to replace. It idles well so the misfire is not bad at all
– Rust on corners by front doors
– Little bit of curb rash on rims
